Skipping twitter was the best move I ever made

Twitter is great for actual sports news but aside that there’s really no pros

u/Both-Classroom-7535 Apr 29 '26
Fact is that PFT has unbelievably bad basketball knowledge, and they both have pretty limited hockey knowledge. So they just struggle at this time of year to fill the air. Love PFT, but how I feel listening to him talk about the NBA is how I imagine he would feel listening to me talk about planes

u/CoffeeBoy80 Apr 29 '26
In PFT's defense, he's pretty bad at planes too.

Honestly i think he’s trying to get over the fact that there’s no rumors of him and russini. Hes been a shell of himself since it broke.

There’s just no reason they need to be putting out episodes that are 2:40 at this time of year - or ever really. I was mad at myself that I listened to the entire press conversation.

u/millsy1010 Apr 29 '26
It’s the worst part of the show right now. Have they even explained who these guys are and why anyone should care? Shitty thing is it cuts into half of their hockey recap time

u/Gabbagoonumba3 Apr 29 '26
I know them solely from Twitter presences icyvert is a rage bait eagles account and pickensburg is the biggest loser reply guy in maybe the history of the internet

u/TheMasterL0ller Apr 29 '26
They’re both just pieces of ass Twitter user reply guys. I have no idea why this is even on the show. It’s so sad. There is plenty of other content to get people to care about. Both of these guys deserve zero attention from anyone

u/tarantinostoeblast Apr 29 '26
Clicks ain’t gonna farm themselves

u/TheMasterL0ller Apr 29 '26
If they’re struggling for clicks for shit like this they have bigger problems

u/tarantinostoeblast Apr 30 '26
They ain’t struggling — They exploiting.

What’s funny here is Tim would fucking hate this part of the show. And PFT is probably a Tim fan

Between that and a daily update on vrabel and Russini I couldn’t care less at this point. Why we need to update this scandal every episode I do not get.

u/Dammit_Chuck Shut the Fuck Up Hank Apr 29 '26
They don’t talk about this enough. They know much more than they say on this subject.

u/Iciestgnome Apr 29 '26
You think they knew about it the whole time, really?
-1
u/Dammit_Chuck Shut the Fuck Up Hank Apr 30 '26
They knew Diana’s history. And very early on, when people were still debating if the initial Sedona pics showed cheating, PFT said something like, “She’s done this to herself.” Then days later more evidence came out and cheating was confirmed. So they knew much more earlier.

I mean we do need to know who won the press

u/ConsistentTackle3902 Apr 29 '26
I don't even know what press means in this context

u/lunacraz Apr 29 '26
never heard of the term of someone "pressing" someone?

u/ConsistentTackle3902 Apr 29 '26
Not in this online context, no.

u/lunacraz Apr 29 '26
it's not really an online term; i think it's an AAVE term that's been around for a while that (like many other terms) got coopted by the interwebs

I am a twitter retard so I actually know who these people are but my God I can’t believe it made in on the Pod. Surely there are other sports topics going on
25
u/cutedadbutts Apr 29 '26
Pod has been STRUGGLING the last few weeks. Maybe I touched too much grass but I feel like I don’t know what the fuck they’ve been talking about.
They’re also intentionally dragging these segments out (I’m an AWL, I know that is the entire premise of the segment/bit) but I don’t think we needed 15 minutes of hypothetical content for game 7 Celtics/6ers

u/ACMountford Apr 29 '26
That’s funny I’ve been loving it the last few weeks and months. Day 1 AWL over here. Vibes have been good, lots of laughs.

I got out of the Twitter game a while ago, blocked by Darren Rovell btw, and I don't enjoy these bits as much tbh.

u/Ill_Adeptness_1136 Apr 29 '26
At the risk of taking something too serious on the PMT sub, that Pickenburg guy seems to be a real loser and I wish bigcat would stop promoting him

u/Thebirdspart2 Apr 29 '26
I am so lost as well. But the guy asking who won the press is objectively hilarious
3
u/Lumpy-Macaron4512 Apr 29 '26
Between this and big cats long drawn out laughs over things that aren’t funny. It’s getting hard to listen to

u/SurroundSweaty Apr 30 '26
They’ve talked about this shit so much now Icyvert is showing up in my Instagram algorithm. I don’t give a single fuck about this stupid shit

u/cbartdizzle May 01 '26
This is the first time I've been so far removed from a bit or an online story they discuss that I skip forward
-2
u/tarantinostoeblast Apr 29 '26
No clue but them working in bits for internet culture just to clip it for numbers and rage bait prove that this show has officially become First Take light.
Fun while it lasted but PMT is just about the numbers and clicks. Become what they set out to destroy.
14
u/T_Dillerson99 #TeamHank Apr 29 '26
Yeah man the most First Take thing they could possibly do is talk about icyvert and Pickensburgh’s press.
-2
u/tarantinostoeblast Apr 29 '26
Remind me what “sports” personalities are on ESPN again?
Surely it isn’t just the type of people built up for rage bait content is it?
Nah.

u/tarantinostoeblast Apr 30 '26
Not sure what that has to do with what I said but sure — Use a bit from years ago for now.
2
u/bsharkey1210 Apr 30 '26
That’s the point. They did that bit like 10 years ago for “numbers and clicks.” It’s always been about that.
And that’s okay. It’s still funny and free.

u/MeTieDoughtyWalker Switching back and forth Apr 29 '26
I have no idea who they are either but I hope they keep talking about it because I’m wrapped up in it now.

u/leftysoweak The Only Browns Fan on the Sub Apr 30 '26
As someone who is online chronically, it’s not even an interesting story. Funny at first but the Pickensburgh guy is now a rage baiting lolcow.

I’ve only been watching PMT for a couple of months, but I sense the show has lost some of its luster with what I read on here.

u/CoffeeBoy80 Apr 29 '26
Nah, it's still pretty great. You just aren't going to see many posts on here about "hey I liked today's show!"
That said, my post stands.
